The National Economic Consultative Forum and Zimbabwe Agricultural Show Society will co-host the inaugural agro-business dialogue on the sidelines of the Harare Agricultural Show next week which seeks to formulate ways of increasing agricultural output.

The national dialogue, which will be held on August 22 under the theme Leveraging agricultural opportunities for economic growth, comes at a time when mining has overtaken agriculture as the mainstay of the economy.

In a statement issued last week, ZAS said the purpose of the dialogue was to bring together leading professionals in the agriculture and agro-processing business sectors to a roundtable with a view to coming up with strategies on how the sector could play a pivotal role on the economic rebound.
